The US Iran war update took a turn after President Donald Trump declared the conflict was nearing its end.
Speaking in a recent interview, Trump insisted the situation was almost resolved. However, his remarks came as new threats and military strategies were being discussed.
“I think it’s close to over. I view it as very close to being over,” Trump said during the interview.
The war, now in its seventh week, has already shaken global markets and disrupted trade routes. In addition, the US blockade on Iranian ports has further tightened economic pressure on Tehran.
Trump, however, maintained confidence in the outcome. He suggested that Iran’s position had been severely weakened by recent actions.
“We’ve obliterated them,” he said.
Moreover, he warned that the United States still holds the capacity to escalate the situation rapidly if negotiations fail.
“We could take out every one of their bridges in one hour. We could take out every one of their power plants, electric power plants, in one hour,” Trump added.
At the same time, diplomatic efforts are quietly ongoing. Mediators are reportedly working to extend the current ceasefire before its expected expiration.
Meanwhile, Trump hinted that fresh talks could begin soon. He revealed that discussions might resume within days.
Peace talks are expected to take place in Pakistan. However, uncertainty still surrounds whether both sides will reach a lasting agreement.
“We’ll see what happens. I think they want to make a deal very badly,” Trump said.
Furthermore, shipping disruptions in key routes have raised concerns about global supply chains.
“If I didn’t do that right now, you would have Iran with a nuclear weapon,” he stated.
“I don’t know how much longer they can survive. I don’t know how much longer they can go because they’ve been hit very hard.”
Beyond the battlefield, some observers argue that global decisions are increasingly influenced by power rather than accountability.
“They told you power was about leadership. It turned into profit over principle.”
This growing sentiment reflects concerns about how decisions are made during critical global events.
As the deadline for the ceasefire approaches, the situation remains unpredictable.
